Alpha Generation and Mental Health : A Focused Study Among Adolescents in Mangalore City, Karnataka State, India

Author(s) Dr. Roshan Monteiro, Mr. Aby Abraham
Country India
Abstract The study explores the mental health experiences of Generation Alpha adolescents aged 11 to 14 years residing in Mangalore City, using a mixed-method research design. By integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research aims to understand individual and collective aspects of psychological well-being within this demographic. A total of 110 school-going adolescents were selected through simple random sampling from various schools within city limits. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs), offering both statistical insights and contextual understanding of the adolescents’ mental health, coping mechanisms, and environmental influences.
The study findings reveal that a significant number of adolescents report moderate and balanced digital use. These digital devices are primarily utilized for entertainment and social connectivity. Parental monitoring is prevalent, yet challenges such as sleep disturbances (60%), academic distractions (55%), reduced physical activity (35%), and social difficulties (30%) are common. Mental stress and addiction affect approximately 40% of respondents, and 60% acknowledge the impact of social media on their self-esteem. Over half recommend limiting screen time and encouraging offline engagement to support mental wellness.
The study concludes that although digital access plays a central role in the lives of Generation Alpha, a balanced approach, supported by parental guidance is essential to mitigate potential negative impacts on adolescent mental health.
